EU's Airline-Emissions Fees Face Challenge

Diplomats from countries opposed to the European Union's levies on airline emissions plan to meet in Moscow next week to discuss responses and potential retaliation, according to a draft agenda.

The group of more than 25 countries, including the U.S., Russia, China, India and Brazil, contends that the EU is exceeding its legal authority by imposing emissions charges on airlines for portions of flights outside the 27-country bloc.
